The Riggers head into their final bye week until the end of March during Week 6 in the NLL.
Despite their first loss of the season in the home opener against Vancouver last time out, there are still plenty of milestones and quick stats to dive into. Let’s take a look at some interesting Riggers numbers this week.
493
Jesse King is sitting at 493 points in his NLL career. With how things have been going for him this season we could see him hit 500 in Philadelphia next weekend.
15
Dane Dobbie is now up to 15 goals this season which is tied for the most in the NLL. Dobbie and Curtis Dickson, who has 11 goals, are the only players in the top 10 in goals with three or less games played.
1154
Dobbie’s 1,154 points are just 12 behind Gary Gait for ninth all time. The Riggers veteran jumped into 10th all-time in points and fifth all-time in goals in the home opener.
20
King has 20 assists on the season which is fifth in the NLL. He is on pace to hit 120 assists this season which would crush his previous career best (73) which he hit last year.
4
Reece Callies has forced four turnovers this season. His previous season best is 14. If he continues at this pace he will hit 24 this year. He is also well on his way to beating his previous high of nine points in a season – he has three assists already this year.
60%
Justin Inacio’s 60% faceoff percentage is for fourth in the NLL among players with 50 or more draws taken. Inacio has won 57 of his 95 faceoffs so far this year.
